As a clinical psychologist, I have specialized in working with GLBTQ individuals and couples, and with individuals who may be questioning their sexuality or who may be first coming out. I use insight-oriented and cognitive behavioral approaches depending upon your unique needs. 15 years experience working in both hospitals and private practice has taught me there is no mental health problem too big to be figured out. I work to create a positive therapeutic relationship—taking care to create an environment that feels safe for you so that you may explore, learn and heal. I feel privileged and honored to be involved in this process and see myself as your agent of change. Are you struggling to step out sexually in relationships, make commitments, find a compatible boyfriend/girlfriend? Do you struggle with self-esteem, anxiety or depression? These are just some of the very real, everyday concerns that are commonly brought in for help. Having an empathetic, objective professional to help work through the issues underlying these challenges is a choice you can make to create the kinds of change you want for your life.

I provide compassionate and affirming psychotherapy for individuals, couples, families and adolescents. A gay man myself, I have been serving the community for over 15 years. Additionally, I'm informed and educated on the experiences of folk who identify as transgender, lesbian, and bisexual as well as the experiences of African American members of the community. I'm also kink and poly-friendly - open to the different ways our community expresses our love, desires, and relationships.
In therapy, I strive to create a space where you can feel safe speaking of any concern or thought. I won’t judge you, think that you’re crazy nor immoral. Together we find ways to enhance your creative thinking, express authentic emotions, and make effective actions. We explore your life and the ways you feel you can change.
My office is at 17th and Q Streets, NW, 2 1/2 blocks from the Dupont North Metro exit.
